Applying IE Setings via GPO on Computer side
I am wondering is there a way to apply IE Use Automatic Configuration Script on the computer side rather than user side when setting via a GPO? I know how to do it via Preferences and/or reg key, but only on user side.

You might be remembering the "IE Maintenance GPO" where you could configure this setting in that location.
Unfortunately, this was deprecated in IE 10.
What are you trying to achieve? Have you considered centralized PAC file?
It really comes down to main objective and PAC file is useful or WPAD if your using a "Proxy". Their are proxies that are open source as well and this would improve your security posture.
